Mental Wellness

Tustin High is taking the next step toward successfully achieving our school’s mission of fostering a community that supports student diversity and values the backgrounds of all students. We aim to enrich the overall educational experience for all of our students. We believe that students who feel valued and experience a sense of ownership in their school community are more likely to be successful in all of their future pursuits.

The Mental Wellness Taskforce will be coordinating wellness related events, activities, and workshops for students throughout the school year.

On September 12th, the Mental Wellness Taskforce held their first event called “Thoughtful Thursday” at snack and followed up with a Mindfulness Tutorial workshop which focused on the introduction of various self-care activities to students in attendance.

In October, we kicked off our Wellness Initiative with Mental Wellness Week. Every day focused on a different topic and provided students with coping strategies they can use any time they are feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

Throughout the year, the Wellness Taskforce will continue to support students and staff with Mindful Monday events on the first Monday of every month. So far, our themes have included: Blue Up for Bullying Prevention, Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude, Lend a Hand, and Spark Something New. With the support of student clubs, programs, departments, and the THS PTO, we are working toward creating an environment that supports the social and emotional needs of our students.
